OVINER: Reuben and Melinda Ri strom PROJECT: Maple Park Shores DATE: July 2, 1980 Request Approval of a rezoning from R -1 (single dwelling residence)., BC (Business Commercial), and LBC (Limited Business Commercial) to R -3C (multiple townhouses). Site Description Refer to enclosed maps for location and property lines. Average: 3.7 acres. Existing Land Use: a drainage pond, single - dwelling house, and two garages. Surroundina Land Uses Northerly: Cope Avenue. North of Cope Avenue is undeveloped land zoned M-1, light manufacturing and planned for LSC, limited service commercial use. Easterly: Undeveloped Kennard Street right -of -way. East of Kennard Street is undeveloped land on Cope Avenue zoned LBC and planned for RL , residential lower density use. North of Lark Avenue are single - dwelling homes. Southerly: Undeveloped Lark Avenue right -of -way. South of Lark Avenue is undeveloped land that is under condemnation for park land. Westerly: A drainage pond known as "Knucklehead Lake ". is under condemnation for park land. Proposed Land Use. 24 townhouse units. Refer to enclosed site plan. Dnc+ ❑r +inn The remainder of the property 9- 27 -75: The City acquired the easement for "Knucklehead Lake". 8-30-62: Council vacated the east -west alley. 2-15-73: Council ordered a feas i bi 1 i ty study for the construction of Kennard Street, between Lark Avenue and Cope Avenue. Council then rezoned the easterly 250 feet of,Lot 1, Block 7, plus the north half of the vacated alley to LBC. 5 -3 -73: The Kennard Street project was found feasible and a hearing was set for June 7. 6-7-73: Council did not order the project. 11- 14 -74: The "Maplewood Municipal Facilities Study" was completed by Tol tz , Ki nq, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Inc. The study recommends that a 21 acre site at Hazelwood Avenue and Cope Avenue be the site for a civic center complex, which would include a city hall and multi - purpose recreation center. A site plan by the consultant is enclosed. Note that a city hall is shown on the Applicant's site. The consultant further recommended that the multi-purpose recreation center be constructed at this location, even if a city hall were located elsewhere. 3-24-75: The Planning Commission made the following recommendation: A need presently exists for expanded facilities for City administrative, public safety, and public works facilities. While it is very desirable to establish a s i nql e unified %.Ii complex, the commission recommends the following actions 1 i sted i n order of priority a. Investigate expansion of the present City Hall site by acquisition of additional properties b. Acquire Gladstone School and maintain present City Hall as a ubl is safety building din p Y 0 c. Acquire the Cope /Hazel wood site and 'ma i nta i n present City Hall as a p u b l i c safety building The Commission also expressed concern about the growth and projected municipal personnel by the year 1995 and recommended that the City Council review these projections with regard to the need to go from the present ratio of 2.86 per 1000 to the projected ratio of 4.75 per 1000 population in comparison with the 6 other communities referenced on page 4 -7 of the Maplewood Municipal Facilities Study report. 4 -3 -75: Council reviewed a recommendation from the Planni Commission on the Municipal F acilities Study and returned it to the Commission for a more in depth recommendation. 4- 22 -75: The Community Design Review Board recommended to the City Council the Frost Avenue and English Street site for both Public Works facility and Municipal Administrative Center. Further, it was recommended that the multi-purpose recreational facility not be a part of the City development plans at this time, but land should be provided for this use. The reasons for this site selection are as follows: 1. There is a greater need to develop the neighborhood concept of arks and playgrounds p p Yg so that youngsters can use the faci 1 i ti es without motorized transportation,, rather than develop a multi-purpose recreational facility 2. The southwest corner of English and Frost was given too low of a rating. On Page 7 -19 there are four items that account for the difference between the ratings of sites C and F � Comprehensive They are: centrality, community image, -aes'thet�cs, and the Comprehensi Plan. All other items of the ratings are the same as the site selected by the consultant at Cope and Hazelwood. The Board feels that Site F, English and Frost, should be given about the same rating as Site C. Cope and Hazelwood 3. The existing warehouse building s on Site F could serve 'as an interim facility for Public Works mai ntenance storage facilities 4. It is close to the existing City Hall which is the proposed Public Safety building 5.

Since 1978, the City has approved or is considering plans for an additional 392 townhouse -quad units in the Beaver Lake area and another 132 units south of Mai land Road. If all of these units built, the total number of townhouse or quad units in the City would be only 10% of the total housing units in the City This- only half of the maximum of 20% suggested in the Land Use Plan. Publ i c 0,orks 1, Sanitary sewer and water are available. 2. City staff w i l l be requesting additional pondi ng area, as part of the site p 1 an review process. This would change the proposed site plan and probably reduce the number of units. Parks The Maplewood Park and Open Space Study, done by Bauer and Associated, Inc. in 1974 proposes that the si be included with surrounds na property to form a 20 acre park called Cope Street Park. This park would include pl ayf i el ds , skating , Y 1 a structures, trails, and picnic areas, P The Park and Recreation Commission has approved an update of the parks 1 an. This update p p has not been approved by the Council yet. This update has dropped the ro osed rezoning site from the Cope Street Park. P p Public Safety Public Safety prefers a "flow- through" driveway. If this is not possible, they prefer access to be limited to Cope Avenue. Two different access points off two different streets may be confusing for emergency vehicles. Citizen Comments Staff conducted a survey of the property owners within 350 feet of the site. - Of the 10 replies recei ved, two had no objections,, one had no comment and 7 objected. The following objections were received: ' 1. .Object to putting Kennard Street through 2. No objection to the townhouses, but object ect to the site plan, ' � p n, as it precludes the . future extension of Lark Avenu west of Kennard Street 4 3. Noise and traffic. Kennard and Lark would become "main drags" in and out of the townhouse project 4 Prefer single-dwelling. "There would be no limit to the number of townhomes built in the area" 5. Loss of natural beauty around the pond. Residents would lose access to the pond area 6. Object to extension of Lark Avenue 7. Prefer two driveways onto Cope Avenue, rather than Lark 8. Object to proposed park Alternatives 1. Approve the rezoning as requested. This would increase the variety of housing, but would cause a limited increase in traffic through the neighborhood. 2. Approve the rezoning, with access limited to Cope Avenue: This would increase the vari ety of housing ng and eliminate nate any traffic through g pp h the neighborhood. The rezoning would, however, eliminate some commercial development on Cope Avenue. 3. Deny the rezoning: This would restrict development to two single-dwelling homes and commercial development on Cope Avenue. The second house would require the construction of Kennard Street or Lark Avenue. This does not seem likely. 4. Deny g the rezoning and authorize staff to begin negotiations to purchase the site as part of the adjacent land for a future City Hall.

Site Description 1. This site was originally platted to 100 by 296 foot lots in 1927. Since then, lot splits have been approved, creating a mixture of 60, 60, 75, and 100 foot wide lots. 2. Existing Land Use: The site consists of 31 houses, Hejny Rental, and Kentucky y Fried Chicken. Surrounding Land Uses Northerly: Frost Avenue. North of Frost Avenue are single dwelling homes. Easterly: White Bear Avenue. East of White Bear Avenue is the Ramsey Nursing home, Aldrich Arena, and miscellaneous commercial uses. Southerly: Larpenteur Avenue. South of Larpenteur Avenue is Dul i ng Optical and other small businesses. Westerly: Single dwelling homes, fronting on Flandrau Street, Past Actions 10 -5 -61: Council granted a special use. permit for lot 11 , block 1 , Garden Acres, for Hejny Rental. The permit does not refer to a specific use, time period, or conditions. Since that time, the use has spread to the adjacent lot to the south. 12- 10 -64: Council denied a rezoning of 1717 and 1721 White Bear Avenue to business and commercial to construct a Burger King Restaurant. Council also referred to the Planning Commission the question of rezoning the entire west side of White Bear Avenue, from Frost Avenue to Larpenteur Avenue, for commercial use. Z ' 1- 18 -65: The Planning Commission recommended that no action be taken, until a comprehensive study could be made of the overall zoning in the City. 2- 18 -65: Counci 1 denied a rezoning of lots 8 - 24 (1855 - 1699 White Bear . 10- 16 -69: Council took no action on a request to rezone 1709 White Bear Avenue to commercial, until the Planning Commission made a recommendation on rezoning the entire west side of White Bear Avenue. 9 -7 -72: Council initiated a rezoning from R -1 to LBC for the west side of White Bear Avenue. 11- 16 -72: Council gave first reading to a rezoning from R -1 to LBC for the west side of White Bear Avenue, except 1756 Frost Avenue, 1751 and 1759 Larpenteur Avenue, and 10 properties on White Bear Avenue whose owners objected to the rezoning. (Most of these properties are north of Ripley Avenue) . Approval was subject to the following conditions: 1. Provide a 40 foot public way easement along the entire west side of White Bear Avenue and surrender all commercial access rights, except by easement to designated and approved commercial access openings onto White Bear Avenue 2. Ramsey County shall indicate approved locations for curb openings in the entire block for ingress-egress to White Bear Avenue before any commercial development is allowed. 3. The Village Engineer shall determine whether the existing storm sewer system installed has reserve capacity to accommodate the projected additional storm water run -off resulting from the rezoned area 4. The Village Council shall determine a payment policy to be applied to these lands rezoned regarding increased storm water service benefits prior to allowing any rezone and subsequent development which would generate additional run -off waters to an already installed ,system, but for which the contributing area was not charged sufficiently for commercialized land use, 5. The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners shall be asked to clarify their County drainage policy as it would be applied to this specific instance, si_,nce the major storm water run -jiff would result in an increase of water volume into Wakefield Lake which is a County Lake and which appears to this office to be directly related to the County Board Policy adopted. 6. Village Council adopt the LBC rezone development guidelines advanced in this report (10-24-72) relating to setbacks, use, building coverage, etc, so as to provide guides for all development plans which would follow in this area. 7. In resolving the ingress-egress points for commercial use to the west side of White Bear Avenue, a program shall simultaneously be resolved in the ease- ment agreement for traffic passageway as it relates to the existing single dwelling accesses onto White Bear Avenue. For example, when 1/4 of the commercial frontage has received development permits, then all driveways shall automatically close on White Bear and utilization of the easement to the approved openings shall become effective. Also, in the easement agreement there should be public review and approval of methods of its improvement and maintenance, 4- 19 -73: Council moved to invite a proposal for the property on the west side of a, White Bear Avenue, northerly of the Kentucky Fried Chicken property approximately 3 to 4 hundred feet, for a rezoning to LBC with easement provisions to solve the traffic problems on White Bear Avenue in terms of limiting the access, providing optional traffic movement within the private property. 10- 18 -73: Council moved a resolution of intent to approve second reading of a rezoning from R -1 to LBC for the four properties north of Kentucky Fried Chicken ( 1699 to 1721 White Bear Avenue) , upon receipt of a signed easement agreement creating a private frontage road for the above four properties, to avoid an excessive number of driveways onto White Bear Avenue. The property owners were not able to get complete agreement on such an agreement 1- 17 -74: Council rescinded their motion of 11 -16 -72 for first reading of the rezoning. Council then initiated _a rezoning from Kentucky Fried Chicken to Ripley Avenue. 2- 14 -74: Council gave first reading to rezone lots 13 -24 (1805 - 1699 White Bear Avenue) from R -1 to LBC. Council passed a resolution of intent to include the following conditions: 1. The construction of an additional lane on the west side of White Bear Avenue to serve the rezoned properties 2. Provide a 40 foot public way easement along entire west side of White Bear Avenue and surrender all commercial access rights except by way of easement to designated and approved commercial access openings onto White Bear Avenue 3. Payment of storm sewer assessments at commercial rate, credit applied for residential rate already charged and payment to be made at time of development. 4. City Council adopt the LBC rezone development guidelines advance in the staff report of 1- 30 -74, relating to setbacks, use, building coverage, etc., so as to provide guides for all development plans which would follow in this area Council also i nti ti ated a rezoning from Ripley to Frost Avenue and the three lots on Larpen teur Avenue, west of Kentucky Fried Chicken. 3- 41 -74: Council denied the rezoning for the lots north of Ripley Avenue and the three lots on Larpenteur Avenue, pending redefinition of the zoning nodes by the Planning Commission. 9- 19 -74: Council tabled action on a petition to rezone some properties west of White Bear Avenue for three months to allow the P 1 anni.ng Commission to review the requested rezoning and to submit a report on LBC zone classifications. 10 -2 -74: Council asked the Planning Commission to consider an overlay district for the White Bear Avenue area, to make it more functional. 3 1- 20 -75: The Planning Commission advised the City Council they did not feel there would be an appropriate modification to the Zoning Code that would cover this particular problem. 9-21-78: Council took no action on a request for a lot width variance at 1883 White Bear Avenue, to allow the division of a 100 foot wide lot into two fifty foot wide lots. The Planning Commission had recommended denial on the basis that it would tend to further delay the conversion of the area to commercial use. 3 -6 -80: Council initiated a rezoning for the west side of White Bear Avenue from Larpenteur to Frost Avenue, Planning 1. Land Use Plan designation: LSC, Limited Service Commercial . (See enclosed Gladstone Neighborhood Plan) . The Planning Commission has not proposed any changes in the Plan update. 2. lli D l Zoning: R -1 Si , nge weng Res i den tial e for Kentuc Fried Chicken p y , wh is zoned BC, Business Commercial. 3. The previous commercial zoning considered for this property has been LBC, Limited Business Commercial. This zoning is intended as a modified commercial area to provide a buffer zone to adjacent residential districts. The permitted uses, subject to Council approval, are limited to professional offices and other similar uses. 4. Council has used the BC (M) Business Commercial (Modified) as a buffer on the south side of Beam Avenue. The BC (PR) zone allows most types of commercial uses, except drive -in theaters, drive -in restaurants, and commercial parking lots as a principal use. 5. The CO, Commercial Office district is another alternative. Offices and clinics . are the permitted uses. Laboratories, public uses, restaurants (.except drive -ins) , and similar uses are permitted by special use permit. 6. The BC, Business Commercial zone allows most all types of commercial uses. 7. Copies of the four commercial zoning districts are enclosed. 8. Under our present zoning code, the existing homes would become nonconforming uses if rezoned to a commercial district. This means that they could not be expanded or structurally altered, except for normal maintenance, without a special use permit. 9. The properties along Fl andrau Street are residentially zoned and developed. The impact on these properties should be considered in any zoning proposed for White Bear Avenue. Due to the unusual depth of these and the rezone lots (300 feet each) , there is space buffering in both cases. Nearly all the homes to the west along Flandrau have 200 foot deep rear yards between their homes and the proposed zoning l i n e . 4 The real concern is that the people to the west can be assured of: a. Knowing what the exact uses will be at the time of development b. Adequate screening, appropriate exterior design, gn, and the elimination nati on of nuisance characteristics. This would be the 'ob of the C • Review Board as specific � Communit Desig p ific plans are presented. Public Works 1. Water and sanitary sewer are available. 2. The storm sewer system i n Whi B • Bear Avenue is inadequate for further commer development. Any new commercial. development on • storm se White Bear Avenue will requ� sewer installa 1 ati on to Larpenteur Avenue, 3. The existing traffic volume on White Bear A • Avenue �s 18,925 vehicles per day. The peak hour traffic for the year 2000 is 1670 v • quite high vehicles es per hour. This � s q g for residential ti a 1 use of adjacent . ro ert p P Y 4. The only median in White Bear Avenue is from North St. Paul Road to Larpenteur Avenue.

White Bear Avenue, from Larpenteur Avenue to Ripley • pley Avenue, has a 99 foot w� c right-of-way and a 32.5 foot wide right-of-way north 9 y of Ripley. 6. The proposed Count Thoro right-of - Y g • e P1 an calls for a 120 foot wide ri This would require the dedication of another 10.5 Y the west side. feet from the properties or 7. Future upgrading of White Bear Avenue will r • p obably be needed. This would include ude left turn protection, such as adding a center • 9 turn lane or medians. Public Safety A commercial rezoning would increase traffic conflicts between the higher volume of traffic on White Bear Avenue and cars entering or leaving many individual com- mercial driveways. Social There are many well established homes on White Bear Avenue. Commercial developme of individual parcels may have an adverse affect on adjacent homes. Citizen Comments C ounci lman Anderson conducted a survey of the residents is l�v�ng �n the area being considered for rezoning, including Hejn Rental. T r Y he results are shown on the enclosed property line /survey map and petition. Fifteen eo le ref • commercial zone ng and fourteen p p preferred a bus i nE people preferred the existing R -1 zoning '� Alternatives 1 . Approve a cor� ai rezoning for the entire west side of White Bear Avenue. This may make it easier for interested owners to sell their property for commercial use and would discourage homes from making additions that would inhibit commercial development. The disadvantages are that: a. The existing storm sewer system cannot handle any further commercial run -off b. There are inadequate medians to control traffic conflicts between the expected increase in traffic volume and many individual commercial driveways 2. Approve a commercial rezoning for only those properites whose owners favor a commercial rezoning. This would avoid creating nonconforming uses out of homes that wish to continue as such. It would have the disadvantages of alternative one and would create small pockets of commercial development that may have an adverse affect on existing homes 3. Deny or table any action, until the problems in alternative one are resolved and specific commercial developments are proposed. Ana s The City Land Use P l a n anticipates that the properties on the west side of White Bear Avenue will eventually develop commercially. The real issue is when these properties should be rezoned and under what conditions. Previous Councils have f e l t that easements for common driveways and parking drives were necessary as a condition of rezoning. This is an excellent idea, but not workable when dealing with multiple properties and owners and unknown developments. How can the City require access easments to adjacent properties when the drive locations of an unknown development are not known? This and other problems became apparent in trying to negotiate common drives with Sherwin Williams on Beam Avenue. Cross easements can practically be negotiated only between two or more known adjacent uses. The City may be able to use a rezoning to negotiate common drives if one large developer or several small developers apply for a rezoning at the same time. This would be more difficult if the property were already rezoned, however.. The most workable solution to the expected traffic conflicts on White Bear Avenue is median control, Drainage is also a problem in this area. Commercial development should not be allowed,until Council orders an extension and upgrading of the existing system. (See Public Works Considerations). Another issue Council must deal with is which zone to rezone the property to. The various options are listed under Planning Considerations. The easiest way to deal with this issue is to wait and see what specific development is eventually proposed and rezone at that time, if the use is considered compatible with the area. Council would lose this opportunity with a premature rezoning. While some property owners may feel that a rezoning is necessary to attract developers, this is not proven out in past experience. Council has considered rezoning requests in the past for developers who wish to purchase and develop specific properties. On the opposite side of the coin, Beam Avenue was rezoned and has seen no develop- ment. If a property owner wishes to inform a potential buyer of the City's intentions in this area, he can refer to the commercial designation on the City Land Use Plan. In summary, Counci 1 is considering a major rezoning without answers to questions on drainage, median control, or knowledge of a specific development proposal. Until these problems are resolved, a commercial rezoning should be considered premature. Recommendation Denial of a commercial rezoning until such time as: 1. A decision is made on expansion of the area drainage system 2. A decision is made on median control 3. A specific development is proposed Denial is based on the following findings: 1. The storm sewer system in White Bear Avenue is inadequate for further commercial development 2. Allowing individual commercial driveways , without median control would cause unacceptable traffic conflicts 3. The above traffic conflicts would further increase with the higher anticipated volume of commercial traffic Anrl nciirAc 1. Councilman Anderson's survey 2. Property Survey Trap 3.

Site Description Lot size: Two, 100 foot wide lots,, totaling 59,184 square feet in area. Existing Land Use: A combination single family dwelling - rental equipment office, an attached garage, open storage of miscellaneous rental vehicles and equipment and a railroad car used for equipment storage, Proposed Land Use Continuation of the existing rental equipment business. Surrounding Land Uses North: A single family dwelling, zoned R -1, Single Dwelling Residence and planned for LSC, Lir�i ted Service Commercial East: Whi Bear Avenue. Across the street, Aldrich Arena South: A single family dwelling zoned R -1 and planned LSC West: Single family dwellings, zoned R -1 and planned for RL, Residential Low Dens i ty Past Actions October 5, 1961: Council approved a special use permit for lot 11, block 1, Garden Acres, as requested . by Robert and Dorothy Hejny. Council approval did not specify a specific use, time period, or conditions, March b, 1980: Council initiated a rezoning for the west side of White Bear Avenue t. from Larpenteur to Frost Avenue to include the applicant's property. Commercial zoning is being considered. Planning 1. Land Use Designation: LSC, Limited Service Commercial. 2. Zoning: R -1 , Single Dwelling Residence 3. Policy Criteria from the Plan: - page 131: Encourage merchants to initiate landscaping, architectural and parking facility improvements to make the centers more attractive and efficient. 4. Compliance with Code Requirements: a. Section 911.050 of City Code states that "(1) The City Council, in granting a special use permit, may attached to the permit such conditions and guarantees as may be necessary to the protection of the public, the rights of others and the City. (2) All special use permits which do not have a specific termination date or provision for a periodic review, shall be reviewed within one (1) year of the date of passage and publication of this Ordinance and every five (5) years thereafter. The Council may, upon such review, determine that new conditions shall be imposed and that, if reasonable under the circumstances, a termination date for said special use permit may be established, and further that where the use should not involve the construction of any special building or structure of a monetary value in excess of Five Thousand and No/ 100 ($5,000.00) Dollars, that the special use permit may be terminated." This ordinance was passed by the Council on May 12, 1977. The City Attorney feels that this ordinance applies to Hejny Rental (see enclosed letter) . B. The original permit was issued for lot 11 only. The business has expanded to lot 12. The business must be confined to lot 11 or Council must expand the special use permit. P u b l i c Works The new right -of -way plan proposed by Ramsey County recommends that White Bear Avenue be expanded to 120 feet of width. The existing right -of -way in front of Hejny Rental is 82.5 feet in width and 49.5 feet from the center l i n e to Hejny Rental. Therefore, an additional 10.:) feet of right -of -way is needed from Hejny Rental. Staff will be recommending additional right -of -way from other properties as they develop commercially. Since Hejny Rental is already in commercial use, this would be a good time to acquire the right -of -way. , Ci ti zen Comments Property owners in the vicinity of Hejny Rental were recently asked their opinion as to whether or not the Hejny special use permit should be renewed. Of the 23 persons surveyed, 10 responses were received. Eight of the ten respondents were in favor of renewing the special use permit. Al to rna ti ves 1. Terminate the special use permit. The property would then be restricted to a single-dwelling home. 2. Conditional continuation of the special use permit. The business would be permitted to continue, but as originally permitted, the site would be limited to lot 11. All commercial usage of lot 12 woul d* have to be terminated. Site improvements consistent with current City policy would be required. 3. Conditional continuation of the special use permit with expansion to include Lot 12. Same as option number 2, except the business would be permitted the use of lot 12. :8 4. Unconditional continuation of the special use permit. The business would be allowed to continue, but all commercial usage of lot 12 would have to be eliminated. No site improvements would be required. 5. Unconditional continuation of the special use permit with expansion to include lot 12. The business would be allowed to continue. No change from the present operation would be required. A nalysi s Recently, Staff realized that a special use permit, issued for Hejny Rental , had not been reviewed since it was approved in October, 1961. In the case of the He jny Rental permit, no special conditions were attached at the time of initial approval, except that the permit was to apply to lot 11, block 1 Garden Acres. In 1977, the City amended the zoning code to authorize periodic review of special use permits. The purpose of peri di cal iy reviewing a permit is to monitor for nuisance conditions. Upon such review, the Council may impose, al ter, ' or eliminate any condition it determines to be in the public interest. Another provision of the 1977 amendment states that if initial approval of a special use permit involved the construction of a support building valued in excess of $5,000, new conditions may be imposed periodically, but the permit may not be terminated. The applicant has indicated that the existing single family home was expanded to accommodate the rental office and inside storage area. The applicant further indicated that the expansion cost in excess of $5,000. However, the permit issued in 1961, in the opinion of the City Attorney, addressed itself to a use of the subject property "as simply that of placing machinery and various other items on the property. It does not involve any structural change nor was the original permit drawn so as to include a substantial investment in the property so as to accommodate the special use." If the business is permitted to continue, consideration should be given to setting the stage for the elimination of several site design deficiencies - deficiencies which most likely would not be allowed if a new application for a similar use was being considered. Specific items to be considered in the site plan approval are: 3 1. A hard surfaced parking l and driveway are not maintained on the south portion of the site, Present site design policy calls for hard surfacing of commercial parking lots and driveways. 2. The general untidy appearance of the site, due to open storage of equipment and a lack of proper screening, may potential reduce the commercial market- ability of adjacent properties, 3. Vehicles and equipment are parked too close and in some cases within the White Bear Avenue right -of -way. City policy requires at least a 15 foot landscaped setback from street rights -of -way for parking lots. 4. The railroad car should be upgraded in appearance or removed. Recon nen da ti on Renewal of the He jny Rental special use permit for three years, with expansion to include lot 12, block 1, Garden Acres, provided-the following conditions are met: Dedication of 10.5 feet of additional right -of -way to accommodate the future expansion of White Bear Avenue 2. All vehicles and equipment shall be parked so as to maintain a 15 foot setback from the White Bear Avenue right -of -way 3. Within three months of renewal, an acceptable site plan shall have been submitted to the Community Design Review Board for lots 11 and 12, block 1, Garden Acres.. The site plan shall be consistent with City site design requirements, commonly required by similar business (i.e., a paved driveway and parking lot, curbing, landscaping, and screening) . All permanent improvements are to be completed within three years of the date of this renewal Renewal of the permit is recommended, because: 1. The use is consistent with the Land Use Plan for the area. 2 , The original permit and use were effective prior to the adoption of the existing code enclosures: 1. Location Map 2.

The answer is "yes". The special use permit is subject to review pursuant to the terms of the ordinance 417. It appears to me that there is more involved than simply the matter of reviewing the special use permit as other questions are very likely to arise from any such consideration. It is well to note that a special use permit is normally given as an exception to the permitted uses within a zoning district. Also, that the use of the subject property is simply that of placing machinery and various other items on the property. It does not involve any structural change nor was the original permit drawn so as to include a substantial investment in the property so as to accommodate the special use. If there are any questions or problems arising out of the consider- ation of this property, please keep in close contact with me so that we may discuss this matter in greater detail, ve truly yours, IS BAN I & CIRESI , P.A. onald L.

Schaller Subject: Revisions to Ordinance #483 We have been in the review and evaluation process of the Alarm Ordinance since its adoption last March. It has provided us with excellent results, however, our consultations with the alarm industry and local business people have shown us a need for some minor changes. These deal mainly with the Ordinance language, and they do not substantially change the intent or purpose of the document. The requested changes are explained below. The numbers refer to the corresponding numbers on the attached copy. 1. This statement leads to confusion as it refers to the licensee when in fact systems and businesses are both licensees. The report referred to should be filed by the "System" owner or lessee. 2. This change will require the applicant to submit the appli- cation for license and license fee directly to the City Clerk, eliminating an unnecessary and confusing step. 3. The "Fee Exemption" paragraph belongs under the "License Fee" section as that is the section it refers to. After the original draft was finalized, sections were numbered to coincide with present City Ordinances. When the final Ordinance was assembled, these references were not changed to coincide with the new numbering system. Recommmendation revisions.

The requirement of State Statute 429.041 that all or part of the work be let no later than one Y ear after the adoption of the resolution ordering the improve- ment has not been met, To proceed with the project a new hearing must be scheduled. Scheduling of a project hearing for August 21, 1980, approval of final plans, and authorization to advertise for bids is recommended. Ac � i on by C o U 1 End s e d_..�____- .�- ---_.. L d i][ c; t �... �,...,......_ �.... Da- to J -� MEMORANDUM T0: City Manager FROM: Director of Public Works. DATE July 16, 1980 SUBJECT: HILLWOOD DRIVE - DORLAND ROAD IMPROVEMENT 78 -10 This project was ordered by the City Council contingent on the developers providing cash escrows guaranteeing payment of the portion of the project cost. At the June 5 Council Meeting, the City subsequently agreed to proceed with the preparation of the plans and specifications con- tingent on the developers guaranteeing payment of these costs. Once bids are received the developer can make a decision as to the viability of the project and enter into a development agreement based on more specific cost fig- ures. This differs from current procedures which require the developer to provide an escrow to guarantee the payment of his portion of the estimated total project cost prior to proceeding with plans and specifications. The new proecedure does not appear to anticipate the length of time and cost involved in acquisition of right -of -way. Normally right -of -way acquisition and preparation of plans specifications proceed simultaneously. In most cases plans and specifications are completed prior to obtaining all needed right-of-way, Lead time to require right -of-way of over six months has been common. If the project is to be carried out in the most timely manner, it will be necessary to begin right -of -way acquisition as soon as possible. However, the project was ordered con- tingent on the developer paying an escrow to guarantee pay- ment of a portion of the total project cost. Until such, the developer has a veto power over the project. There is no current guarantee or contingency to cover right -of -way costs should the project not proceed.- The developers have been informed that completion of the plans and specifications will not guarantee that the City will be in a position to let bids for construction. They have indicated that they wish to proceed with the completion of the plans and specifications as soon as possible. It is recommended that the Council authorize staff to proceed with property acquisition with the understanding that City staff will negotiate for property dedications and options to purchase. No payment for property or expenditures for legal or appraisal fees will be made unless the cost is guaranteed by the developer or the project con- tingencies have been met. wLB /mn 0 .Action by Council Endorse Modif i e cd.._..� --- Rejecte Date 0 t MAIL AHD`►--- • - -.� IT • --- •— • —J10A� • I I, II 1 I 010 1 ' as osc I� I� a: > � > o I� fa II a' IW 060 H it ` (• w 3) TO - a -♦ QRTY _ • -� O I l t L �, , f: It - �AKFIUGC�• •I MIL L w00= .DR,V co _ 6 �! 3 � POND > t �1 PO NO �s -II ~ -1r \ I t 3 4 1 6 7 W tI OR/YE � It l C 0 0 II o)o .. 4 o 1 ' Ila _t¢ ",1� I ,v i t y o SPRINGS 0 o10 D• ' DE DRIVE Of0 ff DID a It t� !1 P a N o oso oso al O o.o o! o:o ono fT at ST f1 1, t J t Q o I t r l= AVENUE t ' •w �. o> r, - 0 - 0) t , :f :• : :f o :o :• olo al oio ;��� �p► t 1�3"A3"� CITY OF MAPLEW000 MINNESOTA HILLWOOD DRIVE — DORLAND ROAD �• oiff�=�� )� -- FE ASIBILITY STUDY — J IT one a><�aTMi a/NRKIIf f[wpl O- ••�— .p.__ —.p f+ O I t 1 pomosto wFTtNWIff [=fatty• fN1t11f11YM j�.

Mn 55418 788- 5211 July 11, 1980 Park and Recreation Commission and City Council Members Maplewood, Minnesota % Bob Odegard Dear Commission and Council Members: We are pleased to submit our proposal for the master planning of Kohlman Lake Neighbor- hood Park. the Kohlman Lake site appears to be a site with great possibilities. The site also may have some severe limitations. The master planning process should be very helpful because these possibilities and limitations will be explored and a long term goal will be formed which responds to these issues. I believe our submission identifies a good approach to the planning process. We believe Erkkila & Associates is highl y .suited to this project. We have worked in Maplewood before and specialize in park planning. We sincerely appreciate being considered for this work and would value the opportunity to serve Maplewood again. Should you need any further information or clarification on the content of our proposal, do not hesitate to contact me accordingly. Sincerely, ERKKI LA & AS OCIATES V N'r1 Tim Erkkila, ASLA Planner and Landscape Architect TE:se Action by Cou _nc4l: En d or.s e d R e j e c t e a._,_.___r_ --_ Date____ a� SU I to 100 2611 Central Ave N E Minneapolis. Mn 55418 788- 5211 MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA PARK MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL FOR KO H LMAN LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK July 11, 1980 . . I. PURPOSE The city presently lacks a master plan for the development of Kohlman Lake Neighborhood Park. A graphic master plan which reflects existing amenities plus any planned improve- ments would be of value to the city as a presentation media for any future LAWCON /MRC grant application as well as providing design control for immediate and long term implemen- tation. 11. SCOPE OF SERVICES Initial conversations and evaluations of the city needs suggest the following scope of services to be provided by the Consultant: A. SITE INVENTORY, ANALYSIS, PREPARATION OF BASE MAPS - The Consultant shall collect all existing site maps and verify their accuracy against observed site conditions. While on site, the Consultant shal familiarize himself with all areas of the park, paying special attention to site suitability for recreation, adjacent land uses, natural character and views into /out of the parks. From this, a base map wi l.1 be prepared which records the property l ines,, topography (if available), vegetation, and other relevant site characteristics. These maps shall be developed as the "base" from which all subsequent planning shall refer to. B. DEVELOP PRELIMINARY CONCEPTS - The Consultant shall confer with the city about the existing park concept and test it against the site analysis and base maps. Three alternati schemes of the site which reflect variations shall be prepared. These schemes, w i l l be presented to the Client for review, discussion and evaluation. The prel concepts sha be i drawn to scale and of proposed uses, circula- tion and new construction which are reliable enough for development into fina master planning with only minimal corrections. C. FIELD VERIFICATION OF SITE LIMITATIONS (OPTIONAL ELEMENT) -The Consultant shall, upon approval of the Client, utilize a field crew to determine the severity of site limitations. This shall involve either (or both) topographic survey of certain areas and (or) the hand probing of soil conditions todetermine the nature and depth of fill in potential development areas. The topographic survey shall be utilized where it is felt Page 2 Maplewood, Minn., July 11, 1980 regrading is necessary to improve site useability and will be the basis for a future regrading scheme. The soils probes shall only be a visual examination of the quality of materials present; no detail analysis or test will be provided. Knowing the subsoils conditions may be necessary prior to proposing a final master plan if it were to include any built facilities such as a tennis court(s), shelter building, or parking lot. A 15' depth is a maximum depth for a hand auger probe. Not all tests shall necessarily go to that depth . D. FINAL SCHEMATIC MASTER PLAN - The total process will result in the preparation of a Park Development Master Plan. 1h is playa w i l l be a one sheet site plan which identifies proposed uses, their locations and identifies the site modification needed for implementation. All proposed elements will be graphically scaled (accurately dimensioned) and laid out respective of site topography and vegetation. The plan will be graphically prepared to be visually suitable for presentation of the park's concept and appearance. III. PRODUCTS PROVIDED BY THE CONSULTANT The Consultant will provide up to two (2) copies of each alternative preliminary concept plan a t approximately 24" x 36" for the to to I park site. The Consultant will provide up to six (6) large copies of the Final Development Master Plan, one of which will be colored. The Consultant shall provide one 82" x 11" black and white, reduced plan suitable for unlimited photocopying. The Consultant shall attend up to three park commission meetings, IV. P RODUCTS TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY The city will lend the following materials to the Consultant (which will be returned upon project completion if requested): • Topographic maps of 2' contour interval (if available) • Legal descriptions, boundary survey or half section plat maps (as available) which accurately show the property lines of the park. • Copies of any engineers' plans relating to utilities or facilities constructed on site (if any exist). V. COST OF SERVICES Erkkila &Associates proposes to undertake the entire project as outlined herein, Tasks A through D (except for optional Task C) and Section III above for $1,200,00. This cost includes all charges (time, materials, mileage, etc) associated with those tasks. Task C, the field verification of site limitations shall be undertaken and billed as an extra cost only if the city wishes to have this service. It is estimated that approximately 10 - 15 page 3 Maplewood, Minn., July 11, 1980 hours would be needed for a two man crew to survey 2 -3 acres for topography and take four soil probes. The charge rate for a two man crew is $35 per hour. The Client has several ways it can control this cost and a specific cost shall be agreed upon once the exact needs are determined. VI. TIMETABLE FOR PROJECT COMPLETION We propose to initiate work within ten (10) days of receipt of base map materials. Preliminary concepts can be delivered within thirty (30) days of receipt of the base maps. The final plans can be delivered within thirty (30) days of approval of the selected preliminary concept and soil /topo tests are completed. VII. PROJECT PERSONNEL The project team w i l l draw upon the resources of Erkkila & Associates for the master plan element of the project. Merila- Hansen, Inc. an associated firm shall provide back -up engineering, soil and topographic surveys (Task C) if needed.
